    Favorite Peterson Pipe Finish

    It looks like Peterson is at least experimenting with their rustication. The pipe below is available on SP as I write. One similar, but with the rustication looking a bit like a corn cob (short horizontal lines) is winding its way to me.

    Favorite Peterson Pipe Finish

    I rarely clench so I tend toward blasted and rusticated pipes because I like the feel in my hand. There are some great Peterson sandblasts on inexpensive pipes. For example, here's a blasted Arklow 129:

    What Was your First Pipe?

    My first was a Dr. Grabow Silver Duke bent bulldog. The pipe is still providing great smokes for my best friend today.

    In Praise of Classic Grocery Store Blends

    I remember buying many of the blends mentioned above, plus Bond Street and Flying Dutchman, from a supermarket that had a whole section, about five feet wide, of pipes, tobaccos, and accessories. And the cigars were in another section, even larger.

    Great Photos Thread

    The best camera is the one you have with you. I love the fact that easy access to cameras has allowed so many talented artists to create great work. (AI will be the next big thing in this area.)

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***

    This morning I had Five Brother in a clay. Since then it's been Maple Shadows in various MM pipes all day.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***

    It's been Maple Shadows all day here in various cobs. I wish I'd opened this stuff sooner.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***

    Today seemed like a good day to open this. Maple Shadows in a MM maple diplomat.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***

    It's not just around the pipe; it's also around the tin top as well. Best guess is a small image resized.

    Show off you Blakemars

    https://blakemar.co.uk/ The website was redesigned sometime in the last few years and I find the current version a huge step backward, but you can see pipes that are available on the current site.

    (More) Blends I’d Like to See

     Aqua Regia Plug - Guaranteed tongue burn no matter how carefully you smoke it. Scrotal Beard Shag - Cut into a very fine, very short ribbon. No matter how you try to pack it, the bowl ends up with empty patches throughout.

    That a Calumet C1, a.k.a. the Green Monster. There's an article about them here: Large format cameras: Calumet C Series 8 X 10 - https://www.largeformatphotography.info/calumet/calumetc8x10.html (I'm considering a lighter model as I've reached the point where I'm no longer comfortable with a...

    Exploring the Evolution of Pipe Shapes

    I like just about any shape, but my favorites are those that combine masculinity and voluptuousness. Think of the Ser Jacopo pipes made during Giancarlo Guidi's lifetime, or S. Bang's curvier shapes. But if you look at my accumulation of pipes, you'd probably never know that.
